"Religion of the Age In the Poetry of Tennyson," the Topic-Illustrated the . Poet's View of Chi lit and Christi anity. The Rev Dr. W. "W. Leete delivered the second part of his lecture on "The Religion of the Age in the Poetry of Tennyson" at Dwight Place church last night. He gave a review of the first lecture, saying that in that he consid ered some of the personal history and characteristics of Tennyson and gave ome of the reasons why a writer like Tennyson should be brought to the at tention of a Christian congregation. These were in brief that he passed through decades of changes and con flicts of religious thought and felt the pressure of human needs and difficul ties. The speaker also told of how he declined many honors which were of fered him and of his peculiarities. Of the second part of the lecture the Rev. Dr. Leete said, in part: Of Chris tianity, Tennyson used to say, "It is rugging, 1. e., tugging at my heart." In 1848 he went to Bude on the Corn wall coast to be, as he said "alone with God." He believed God was an omni potent, omnipresent all loving God who had revealed Himself through the hu man attributes of the highest self sac rificing love. But he dreaded the dog matism of sects and rash definitions of God. "I dare hardly name His name," he would say, "but take away belief in the self-conscious personality of God end you take away the backbone of the world." "On God and on Godlike men we build our trust." He admitted that in "His whole world self" God is unknow-, able and yet our highest view of Him must be more or less anthropomorphic. With Tennyson the love of God is the basis of duty, truth, reverence, loyalty, love, virtue and work, and he said to a young man going to the university, "Be ye therefore perefect even as your Father in heaven is perfect." But then he added, "Don't be a prig. Most young men with anything in them make fools of themselves at some time or another. He said he believed in tianity would alter; but that the Spirit of Christ would still grow from more to more.' A member of the state Epis copal body, he had profound respect for religion in any shape; regretted the expulsion of the religious orders from France; wished that the Church of England could embrace as he felt Christ would have it do, all the great non conformists sects; and looked forward, not without hope, to the day when there would be one Shepherd and one flock. The master idea of Tennyson's age was evolution and under the changes of thought wrought by it his work was done. He saw its revolutionizing in fluence and welcomed it; but also re sisted many of what he called its un warrantable inferences. Tennyson be lieved in prayer. He cried out in trou ble, "O Thou Infinite, Amen!" But he laughted over the story of the Lincoln shire minister who thus prayed "O God send us rain, and especially on John Stubbs' field In the middle of . the marsh, and if Thou dost not know it, it has a big thorn tree in the middle of it." Many are the lines In Tennyson's poetry that ring true on the question of social and political emancipation. Though Tory and withal conservative, he still loved the common people. Six ty thousand copies of "Enoch Arden" sold in a short time and he was not in frequently called the "Poet o the People." It was a quiet wedding when Alfred Tennyson, after waiting thirty years, married Emily Sellwood. The cake and the dresses failed to appear on time but the poet, much to the amusement of the guests, said it was the nicest wedding he had ever been at. Years after his mind was not changed but he said "The peace pf God came into my life before the altar when I wedded her." In every reference to the sexes and the duty of man and wife, Tenny son has been a moral tonic to society. In marriage he would not have depend ence but equality. As the final theme of the lecture Dr. Leete considered the championship of certain moral and religious principles, especially in the "Idylls of the King." And though there are things in the life and teachings of Tennyson which we might wish clearer, may we not be well thankful for this great, strong; thinker repeating so long and In forms never to be lost, the cardinal verities of our redeeming gospel. But while men come and go the fight for righteousness and Death of Aire. Frederick L. Bostwick Yesterclny. Mrs. Frederick L. Bostwick died at her home on Olive street yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. Mrs. Bostwick was born in this city April 17, 1824, and was the second daughter of George Rowland, who is well remembered by many of New Haven's citizens as the proprietor of the City Mill, which stood on the site now occupied by the ruins of the old Chapel street depot. Her mother was Caroline Attwater, daugh ter of Captain Elnathan Attwater, a prominent shipmaster of his day, exten sively engaged in the West India trade. Mrs. Bostwick received a liberal educa tion, mainly at Miss Comstock's ladies' academy, then located on West Chapel street, one of the most famous schoolB in the United States. She jvas an adept at mathematics, and soon after graduation received an appointment as instructor in a large seminary at Bata- via, N. Y., where she spent two yea.re. In 1851 she was married to Frederick L. Bostwick, whose first wife, Caroline Rowland, was her older sister. Since that time she had continuously resided in New Haven, for, the past forty-two years at her late residence, 162 Olive street. At an early age she united with the Episcopal church, transferring her membership from St. Paul's to St. John's forty years ago, and had since remained one of the staunchest adher ents of the latter church and among its most earnest workers. Mrs. Bostwick leaves two sons, Fred erick and Thomas A., and a widowed daughter, Mrs. Caroline R. Jonei. - An other daughter, Mrs. George E. M".Hby, died three years ago. She also leaves five grandchildren. Of her brothers and sisters five survive her Miss Sarah M, Rowland, of this city, Mrs. Ruth A. Tibbals and Thomas Fitch Rowland, of New York, and Frederick C. Rowland and Miss Jennie Rowland, of this city. The funeral services will be held on Wednesday afternoon, with services at the house at 2 o'clock and at St. John i church on Orange street at 2:30. Rev. Mr. Means will conduct the services assisted by Rev. Dr. Lines. The In termertt will be in the Grove street cemetery. Pleasant ready for ; :, Formerly F. M. Brown & Co. Sunday Formerly F. M.

We are hi the fight but from what he found in man and that it was harder not to believe in God than to believed In Him. His ab seWe' "from the 'Soul is real hell. 1 So also God is love. Spirit was the great reality of the world and matter a greater mystery than mind. Of sin j and misery he said, "I do not feel hor- ! ror when I see it but shame for the -eake of God." Once as he came from the great cathedral at Rheims he said j "But what a mystery Is the Christian religion. It requires an act of faith to j accept It." Hie mother wrote to him j In 1860 "O Dearest Ally, how fervently i have I prayed for years that our mer- ciful Redeemer would Intercede with j our Heavenly Father to grant thee Hls'j Holy Spirit, to urge thee to employ the talents He has given thee by taking . every opportunity of endeavoring to ; Impress the precepts of Hie Holy Word i on the minds of others." It would be j difficult for even his nearest friends to tell Just what Tennyson believed. He never formulated a creed, for he said I people would not understand him if he did. But while there is to him a "faith beyond the form of faith" and while he would not let his views of Chris tianity be disturbed by the jarring sects and creeds, he still saw the need of or ganized Christianity. He said "There must be forms, yet I hate the need of so many sects and services." But the poet's view of Christ differed from the evangelical or high church view. Yet he habitually thought and felt about the nature of Chrislanlty in the spirit of an old ealnt of mystic; not In that of a modern rationalist. There are two things which he thought beyond the Intelligence of man; one the intellec tual genius of Shakespeare; the other the religious genius of Jesus Christ. He believed that the forms of Chris- to-day and I have brought these thoughts from one of the world's mas ters that our choices and our deeds I might be exalted. In this day and gen- i eration, what a call for men! How he , roic must he be who will perform his i part In heart, in home, in cljurch and l In society. MAY HAVE A NEW BUILDING. Plans Are Being Made by the Gas Com pany to Erect a Large Structure. It is expected that at the next regu lar meeting of the New Haven Gas Light company, to be held the latter part of the month, action will be taken on plans prepared by the officers for the erection of a large and costly build ing to be used in connection with the present structure. In front of the general office of the company on Crown street there is now being conducted an experiment with an apparatus that is in use abroad for the. purpose of giving added bril liancy to lighted gas. By means of a compressor the gas 1b forced Into the pipes to the lamp with greater press ure than comes from the mains. ,The three burners consume ten feet of gas an hour and furnish a light of 300 candle power. This system was used almost exclusively at the Glasgow ex position, which was brilliantly illumi nated, and wae also adopted at the Paris exposition. It is understood that the experiments are being made for the purpose of establishing It here. MR. THOMAS WONT RUN. TAKE THEM OUT. Or Feed Them on Food Thoy Study On. Cm When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food, there are only two things to do: either take him out of school or feed him' properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food Is Grape-Nuts. A boy writes from Jamestown, N. Y., saying: "A short time ago I got into a bad condition from overstudy, but Mother having heard about Grape Nuts Food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any other food, and the results were West Haven Democratic Nominee to Constitutional Convention Declines. It was stated last night in West Ha ven that George Thomas, the demo cratic nominee to the constitutional convention had declined, by letter, to run for the nomination. It is now up to the democratic town committee to put up a successor to Mr. Thomas, but who it will be is a question. Judge Bryant is the republican nomi nee and it now looks as though he would have no competitor for the place. WILL SING IN BOSTON. Mr. Mozealous at the Howe Centennial Celebration on November 11.

Mnu Arrexcil Here Charged With Hnv Intj 15nrunrl7.ctl Many Shore Cottngs. Detective Donnelly arrested Saturday night William H. Kimball, a former resident of this city who is believed to have committed a number of burglaries In Pine Orchard, Stony Creek, recently in shore cottages. A description of a man who had been seen hanging about those places was sent to the New Ha ven police and It was on this descrip tion that Donnelly picked up Kimball. When he was arrested a 32 calibre re volver and twenty-eight cartridges were found in one of his pockets and he will be tried here on the charge of carrying concealed weapons before he is turned over to the Branford author ities. Among the houses burglarized, it is believed by Kimball, was the summer residence of S. E. Dibble at Pine Or chard. Mr, Dibble on visiting hie cot tage some days ago found that It had been entered and ransacked and every thing Inside turned topsy turvy. A shirt belonging to Mr. Dibble had been taken and in place of it an old one was left on wh!ch was the name William H. Kimball. Several other small things had been taken. Other cottages which were burglar ized are those of the Fullers and Ris ings of Springfield, of Mr. Drake of Waterbury, of Mrs. Giles of New York. A Cheshire gentleman who has a cot tage at Pine Orchard, visited his cot tage a week ago yesterday when a man came to the cottage and tried the doors. The owner of the place went to the door and asked the prowler what he wanted. The latter muttered some thing about wanting to see if anyone was at home and slunk away. Constable Bradley of Branford, who formerly kept a bakery at the corner of Grand avenue and Elm street, this city, said yesterday that Kimball had said that he would shoot down any of ficer who attempted to arrest him and his armament found upon him when he was arrested looked as though he was prepared to carry out his threat. He is said to be a deserter from the United States army. Kimball formerly lived on Orchard street in this city and was sent to the reform school from this city about ten years ago. He has an uncle in Pine Orchard, with whom he stayed for a few days. The uncle turned him out, however, and since then he has been hanging about that vicinity. He waa arrested here for theft in 1896 by Cap tain Cowles of the detective bureau. He ls about twenty-three years of age and a strapping big fellow. LITTLE GIRL ENTICED A WA Y. Dorothy Bolton Carried Into Prospect Street Woods by a Strange Man. The police of the Dixwell avenue pre cinct are looking for a man who Satur day afternoon enticed away the six-year-old daughter of James R. Bolton, of No. 59 Division street, and after tak ing her into the woods on Prospect street, near Canner street, allowed her to return home In about an hour. Little Dorothy Bolton was playing with some other -thildren in a lot on Division street, when a man, a stran ger, approached and asked the way to Canner street. The children all started to show him the way, when he told them all to go back except Dorothy Bolton, who went with him up towards Pros pect street, where Canner street ends. When she had been gone about half jan hour and had not returned some of the children went and told Mrs. Bolton about the matter. Mrs. Bolton at once notified the police and officers were detailed from the Dix well avenue station to search for her. The police went over towards Prospect street, but saw nothing of the child or the man until 011 TroEpcct street, near Canner street, they saw little Dorothy coming out of the woods alone, about an hour after she had gone away with the strange man. She was crying and was very nervous, and was taken borne, where a physician was summoned to attend her and ex amine her. The physician found no ev idences of assault, but from the story told by the little girl it ls thought that the man, for some reason, became scar ed before he had harmed the child, and allowed her to go. She told her parents that she walked with the man to Prospect street, where he picked her up In his arms and car ried her lnt the woods, where, after fondling her awhile, he allowed hr' ( gO."
